    Hi!

    I’m running WordPress Multisite and I’m not able to upload flash files (.swf files) into Media Library.
    I have already tried to add swf to “Upload file types” in “Network Settings” but still doesn’t work. I’m getting the error message:

    “agenda.swf” has failed to upload due to an error
    Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”

    Any help?
    Thanks in advance for your support 😉

    Best regards,
    Carolina Marques

    You have to add them in via an mu-plugin

    // Mimes
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'add_custom_upload_mimes');
function add_custom_upload_mimes($existing_mimes){
	$existing_mimes['epub'] = 'application/epub+zip'; //allow epub files
	$existing_mimes['webm'] = 'video/webm'; //allow webm file
	return $existing_mimes;
}

    Hi Ipstenu!

    Thanks for your reply.
    I made copy / paste from your code to my functions.php file and it still doesn’t work.

    The error message continues to appear:
    “agenda.swf” has failed to upload due to an error
    Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.”
